The study, published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, found that middle-aged people who rode a bike at some point in their lives were 17% less likely to have knee pain and 21% less likely to have symptomatic knee arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, according to the Cleveland Clinic. It can occur in one or both knees with age and cause pain, swelling and stiffness in the knee joint.
A new study focuses on the health benefits of cycling. They surveyed more than 2,500 people about whether they had ridden a bike at four points in their lives: ages 12 to 18, ages 19 to 34, ages 35 to 49, and ages 50 and over.
They found that those who rode a bicycle at some point in their lives reported less knee pain, radiographic osteoarthritis, and symptomatic radiographic osteoarthritis. Additionally, these individuals reported fewer cases of all three conditions.
